Crucial to the accuracy of an atomic clock is the width of the resonance used. Current caesium atomic clocks already use a very narrow resonance; strontium atomic clocks achieve a higher accuracy with only one second in 15 billion years. Further improvement is practically impossible to achieve with this method of electron excitation. Therefore, teams around the world have been working for several years on the concept of a “nuclear” clock, which uses transitions in the atomic nucleus as the pulse generator rather than in the atomic shell. Nuclear resonances are much more acute than the resonances of electrons in the atomic shell, but also much harder to excite. Atomic clocks have numerous applications that benefit from improved accuracy, such as precise positioning using satellite navigation.

Nuclear clocks could be the GOAT: Greatest of all timepieces. If physicists can build them, nuclear clocks would be a brand-new type of clock, one that would keep time based on the physics of atoms’ hearts. Today’s most precise clocks, called atomic clocks, rely on the behavior of atoms’ electrons. But a clock based on atomic nuclei could reach 10 times the precision of those atomic clocks, researchers estimate. Unlike atoms’ electrons, atomic nuclei are subject to the strong nuclear force, which holds protons and neutrons together.That means nuclear clocks could allow new tests of fundamental ideas in physics, including whether supposedly immutable numbers in physics known as fundamental constants are, in fact, constant.Nuclear clocks would be based on jumps between those nuclear energy levels, rather than those of electrons.To tally time with nuclei, scientists need to be able to set off the jump between nuclear energy levels with a laser. “Nuclear levels are not normally accessible with lasers,” said theoretical physicist Marianna Safronova. A variety of thorium called thorium-229 has a pair of energy levels close enough in energy that a laser could potentially set off the jump. Recent measurements have more precisely pinpointed the energy of that jump, a crucial step toward building a thorium nuclear clock.Now that physicists know the size of the energy jump, they are aiming to trigger it with lasers.  _________________________________________ FOLLOW @ZAEZ_SCIENCE FOR RECENT SCIENCE NEWS. @zaez_science @zaez_science @zaez_science ___________________________________________ Hastages:-#nuclearblast #nuclearphysics #nuclearblastrecords #nuclearpower#atomicclock #atomicclocks #timelapse #timetravel #timea #timeattack #timeandtru #timeaftertime #newsflash #anews #newsdaily #newsday #newshop #sciencefacts #sciencefact #sciencefactory #sciencefactcards #sciencefacteeday #sciencefactfriday#sciencefactguide https://www.instagram.com/p/CQI5gM3l0DH/?utm_medium=tumblr

How does a Quartz Watch Works?
Quartz watch purely depends upon the electrical signals in turning up a motor to move the second's hand. The main target is to move the second's hand at a certain speed, which makes the minute's and hour's hand to move at a correct pace. In quartz watches, this is made to done by a series combination of gears, electromagnets, and quartz material, which makes the name quartz watch. To know more about the operation, please visit the below link.

Why all kind of clock Slows down in Space ? All types of Clock uses either of one principle to drive its gear train to register time. 1) Pendulum oscillation 2) Hair/ Coil Spring Tension 3) Cesium-133 atom frequency 1) Pendulum Type Clock uses Time Period of the pendulum to register a second. ‘’Time Period of Pendulum is defined as time taken by pendulum to complete one full oscillation.’’ It is represented by Formula: T= 2π✔️L/g Its obvious from the above formula that Time Period T is inversely proportional to Gravity g. In Space, value of g reduces and Time Period T increases. That means same pendulum would take, say 1.2 seconds to register 1 second and we can say the Clock has ‘slown down’ 2) Coil Spring Clock uses Time Period of Spring to register a second. The Formula for which is as : T= 2π✔️m/k Where k is spring constant which is equal to weight of suspended mass divided by length of spring. ie. k= W/L = mg/L If we put this k=mg/L into above Time period formula. T= 2π✔️m/(mg/L) Simplified into, T= 2π✔️L/g Again, Its obvious from the above formula that Time Period T is inversely proportional to Gravity g. In Space, value of g reduces and Time Period T increases. That means same spring would take, say 1.2 seconds to register 1 second and we can say the Clock has ‘slown down’. Few people are wondering , it contradicts General Relativity. For them further explanation below: If you are living on earth and wearing wristwatch which is ticking 1 sec/sec (calibrated as per earth gravity ) and you have a friend on Moon who is also wearing wristwatch ticking 1sec/sec ( calibrated as per moon gravity). When you will go to visit your friend on moon, your wristwatch will slowdown in comparison to your friends wristwatch. Because Your friends wristwatch is telling lunar time which is faster than earth because of lesser gravity. So my explanation is inline with the General Relativity Please wait for my next Post for Atomic Clock explanation. #atomicclock #aadpakvis (bij Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO6VfWfFZ0n/?igshid=1s4vo1upx4a6m

Check India's first atomic clock
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The countdown to the standard determination of India made atomic clock has started. Researchers at the Space Application Center (SAC) of Ahmedabad, Indian Space Research Center (ISRO) have created this indigenous clock, which is being tested so that it can be used in a pilot navigation satellite. Such clocks stimulate data related to location. The difference in time of atomic clocks of satellites in different places is used to detect the exact position of the navigation receiver or anything on the earth. If all the three clocks in a satellite gets stopped, then space scientists have to launch a backup satellite equipped with new nuclear clocks. For this reason, ISRO needed to develop such clocks in India. Tapan Mishra, director of SAC says that ISRO has joined the selected space organisations of the world who have developed such sophisticated technology along with this indigenous nuclear watch. On April 12, ISRO successfully launched IRNSS-1I to replace India's first navigational satellite IRNSS1A. This will complete the group of seven satellites so that the sailors continue to work smoothly. It is expected that it will provide a satellite-based navigation system to India which will be independent of the US-controlled Global Positioning System (GPS). The indigenous nuclear watch will also move towards the indigenous GPS. Read the full article
